Murray Gell-Mann
Murray Gell-Mann (born September 15, 1929) is an American physicist.Murray Gell-Mann received the 1969 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the theory of elementary particless. He introduced the "eightfold way" as a means to coherently organize the great numbers of particles that had been found by experimentalists in prior years. The eightfold way establishes a clear link between quark arrangements and abstract algebra.
Gell-Mann wrote a popular science book, The Quark and the Jaguar, Adventures in the Simple and the Complex.
